5.1.3.1 Quantizing the Rhythm in the MASCHINE Software
Zooming In Your Pattern
To check this, zoom on specific parts of your Pattern in the software. Go to the bottom of the
Pattern Editor in the software where you find the horizontal scroll bar which can also be used
as a Zoom tool:
The Zoom Tool in the Pattern Editor.
► Click either end of the horizontal scroll bar, hold the mouse button, and then drag your
mouse left or right to zoom in/out.
Alternatively, you can click anywhere on the scroll bar and drag upwards or downwards to zoom in
and out of your pattern.
At any time, you can click the middle of the horizontal and vertical scroll bars to display anoth-
er part of the Pattern.
If you zoom in, you can see that some of your hits might not be accurate:

MASCHINE provides you with a powerful quantization feature that allows you to correct this to
the desired extent.
